THC-O products are in a particularly precarious legal situation. Last week, the DEA stated that THC-O products are federally illegal because the compound is not found naturally in hemp. The agency was not asked to evaluate the legality of HHC, but whether or not those products will eventually be considered illegal will depend on whether regulators believe that it can be found naturally in the cannabis plant. I have been concerned about the proliferation of the THC acetate ester (THCO) for some time.
I have always considered THCO to be a controlled substance under federal law. Although it can be made from hemp cannabinoids, THCO is not naturally expressed in the hemp plant. It is a laboratory creation that does not occur in nature, at least not from the hemp plant. You must ensure that THC-O is manufactured and sold legally and that you only transport it in states where THC-O is legal.
